Компания Arc System Works объявила о планах по выпуску классических битемапов Super Double Dragon и Double Dragon Advance на Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One и ПК. Они станут доступны на всех цифровых площадках 9 ноября 2023 года.

Когда права на игры компании Technos перешли к Arc System Works, многие обрадовались, ведь японские разработчики хорошо зарекомендовали себя по Guilty Gear, BlazBlue и файтингами по чужим лицензиям, вроде Dragon Ball и Granblue Fantasy. Однако "первый блин" – Double Dragon IV – оказался неудачным. Сделав определенные выводы, Arc System Works обратилась за поддержкой к A+ Games и WayForward, после чего эти студии выпустили несколько проектов под маркой River City, и поклонники Double Dragon вновь начать ждать возвращения любимой серии, особенно учитывая, что "братья-драконы" всегда находились в той же вселенной, а некоторые враги и подружка близнецов Мэриэн уже радовали своим присутствием в дилогии River City Girls. Последняя в целом хорошо подходит как геймплейная база для создания новой Double Dragon, однако все пошло по другому пути.
